The digital agency market in Greece is crowded with options. Here's a practical framework for evaluating agencies — the questions to ask, the red flags to avoid, and what a genuine premium agency looks like.
The Greek Digital Agency Landscape
Greece's tech ecosystem has grown substantially over the past decade. From Thessaloniki to Athens, there are now dozens of digital agencies offering web development, mobile apps, and digital marketing services. Competition is healthy — but it also means not all agencies are created equal.
The 5 Questions Every Business Should Ask
1. "Show me the last 5 projects you shipped."
A reputable agency has a track record. Not mockups, not design concepts — live, deployed products serving real users. Look at technical quality: Is it fast? Does it work on mobile?
2. "Who actually writes the code?"
Many agencies sell work they outsource to cheaper developers. Ask directly: is development done in-house? Who are the engineers? You should be able to meet them.
3. "What does post-launch support look like?"
The relationship doesn't end at launch. Understand exactly what happens after you go live: SLAs, response times, ongoing retainer options.
4. "What tech stack do you use and why?"
A good agency can explain their technology choices clearly and justify them for your specific use case.
5. "Can we speak to a past client?"
References matter. Any agency confident in their work will connect you with happy clients.
Red Flags to Watch For
- Proposals with no discovery phase
- Suspiciously low prices — quality engineering has a cost
- No clear project management process
- Ownership ambiguity — you should own 100% of the code
- Technology lock-in — proprietary platforms that create dependency
